6 tags to crash IE….

Slashdot may be bored by the 6 tags that can crash IE, but even so, I thought it was interesting.

Here’s the code:

<style>*{position:relative}</style><table><input /></table>

Indeed, if you take that and save it onto your hard drive, you can crash Windows Explorer just by selecting it (YMMV depending on the version of IE and the operating system: I’m using IE6 on Windows XP Professional (32-bit)).

Use the leftMouseButton to grab on the control points and drag.

It is very rocky. It is your responsibility to respect all legal aspects.
Duration of an activity that began in the past and continues to the
present. It is worth noting that for performance reasons, delaying as
much as possible is often a good idea.
Then the time came to give the talk, and here are these monster minds
in front of me, waiting. An unusual situation can arise that puts
Windows in an infinite loop when the ES register holds the selector
to a discardable code segment.
But I think I see what you mean. Alternately, you can install
Microsoft Posting Acceptor 2.
Then I got up and stood behind her. I lit a cigarette.
FramerD was originally developed at MIT’s Media Laboratory by Ken
Haase. Jefri Olsndot, you are someone I want very much to meet.
And yet, as you see, I will not touch the creature. When an
application passes the handle returned by CreateCompatibleDC to one
of the drawing functions, the requested output does not appear on a
device’s drawing surface.
Maybe there are others like me and others who have found a solution,
might be good if we get an answer to this. Those Tsorteans must think
we’re simple.
It is zero if the function failed. Single-element operations return
positions, where a non-NULL value indicates that it worked.
It is your side that needs that little homily, I think. Maybe I can
work them into the package some way.
This can be used to avoid that a contained item matches in the start
or end pattern. It isn’t like we had some money laid by to take care
of emergencies.
He’s always bad then. As we have seen, that is what causes activation
object persistence.

Yay! More image spam!

If you want more of this sort of rubbish, I guess you’ll just have to read something from that no good fish pirate. It makes almost as much sense as the above.

Newb-nix 01: “nclude”

When you open the vi text editor, you start in “command” mode, which allows you to use various commands for deleting text, regular expressions, jumping to lines, inserting lines, and so forth. Anyway, to actually write stuff, you’ve got to go into one of the various edit modes. This requires pressing one of a few various keys (for example, i for insert, a for append, R for replace, and so on).

And here, we see me continuously forgetting to go into insert mode.

Luddite.

I finally bought a digital camera today. In combination with the fact that I am now over a very stressful period of assignments, I guess that means that you’re going to get to see some of the things I’ve been meaning to take photos of for a while, but haven’t, for the want of a camera.

And some things that really should have been captured with a scanner too, except that I don’t have one of them. And no plans to get one either.

New forum

I’m moving the Seraphiel forums to Fog Creek Software’s new Fogbugz-On-Demand service. It comes with an integrated bug tracking solution, so managing bugs and new feature requests will be a lot easier than before.

300 (hours)….

300 has been released; it’s a great movie…

…or so I’ve been told. You see, it hasn’t been released here yet. Indeed, it won’t be released here for a couple of weeks yet.

It’s not as though Australia is too far off the map. Yeah, it’s across the Pacific Ocean, and all, but the world is constantly getting smaller. And according to IMDB, it’s been out in the Phillipines for a fortnight. Gah?

Qantas offers me a choice of 14 flight plans from Los Angelas to Sydney each day, including several direct flights. Travel time ranges between 14 and 23 hours (depending on whether you have stop-overs or not). There is no technical reason why it takes a whole month for them to get around to releasing a movie to be released in Australia.

Any ideas?

Ha!

The PS2 is currently outselling the PS3 in Japan. Wow.
